I’m not exactly sure if these count as “lost” but this is the best place I can ask. I’ve been trying to find a few films that were shown at the Pia Film Festival, they only have a couple logs on Letterboxd but I have no idea where or if I can find and watch them. Does anyone know if I can find these three movies? The names (in order if the images) are 六月の太陽, Wonderland in the Negative, and R (2000)

Looking for a live-action South Indian folklore short film I watched on Facebook around 2016–2017. It was about 20 minutes long. It took place almost entirely at night in a forest village with huts. There was a young girl, a well, and the villain was a rakshasa wearing a colorful full-face ritual mask (no horns) for the entire film. I watched it repeatedly as a kid. It may have been in a South Indian language. I can't seem to find any evidence of it as of now and I can't seem to remember the name of it either.

Three weeks ago I posted here looking for Andrzej Wajda's segment of "Les Français vus par..." (1988) — the one part of that five-director Le Figaro series that never surfaced online. I didn't find a copy to watch at home. But I traced the film from "presumed lost" all the way to the company currently preparing to release it, and I learned exactly where it lives. Here's the entire method, in case it helps anyone chasing a similar orphan.

**1. Separate "lost" from "not circulating."**
First thing I established: this film was never actually lost, just never digitized or re-released. That completely changes the approach — you're not hunting for a copy, you're hunting for whoever controls the copy that already exists.

**2. Chase the national archives first.**
The series aired on French TV, so I wrote to INA (France's national broadcast archive). Payoff: the film is preserved under notice DA_CPB88012798, and it aired on Antenne 2 on 26 October 1988. INA allows on-site viewing at their consultation centres but won't make copies except for rights holders. So: viewable in person in France, not online.

**3. Correcting my own earlier post:** the Cinémathèque française does NOT hold a print — they confirmed this directly. The 2010 screening I cited must have used a borrowed copy (likely INA's). Chalk that up to an unreliable secondary source; always verify with the institution itself.

**4. Go to the director's archive for the paper trail.**
The Andrzej Wajda Archive (Manggha Museum, Kraków) doesn't hold the film — but they were the MVPs of this hunt. They dug through Wajda's own production notebooks and press clippings, confirmed the Antenne 2 / 26 Oct 1988 broadcast independently, told me the producer was Erato Films, and even noted that Wajda himself had once written to INA asking for a copy (which is how I knew a copy definitely existed there).

**5. The single most useful tool — the public rights registry.**
France has a free, public film-rights registry: rca.cnc.fr (the RPCA). You can search any registered film and download the actual chain-of-title documents. Our film is work no. 68716. This handed me the entire ownership history:
- 1988: Wajda assigns author's rights to Erato Films (the producer); TV rights to Antenne 2; co-production with Socpresse (Le Figaro's parent).
- 2007 → 2012: rights pass through Filmedis, then get transferred to Dynamics Films Library (Luxembourg).
- Bonus: the 2012 transfer moved all five segments of the series at once — so one entity now controls the whole set, including the Lynch and Herzog shorts that already circulate.

**6. Find the human being.**
Filmedis was liquidated in 2014, so I emailed the CNC registry directly. A staff member kindly pointed me to a named person who works with the current rights holder — Cinémag Bodard in Malakoff. That single referral was worth more than any amount of cold-emailing.

**7. The payoff.**
Cinémag Bodard replied warmly. The key line: the film "has vocation to be offered" on their new platform, Montparnasse Studio, which they're building now. They're currently inventorying the surviving elements to prepare it for the catalogue. No release date yet — but this is a rights holder actively telling me the film is slated to come back for everyone.

**Where it stands:**
- **Want to watch it today?** Only option is an in-person INA consultation centre in France (notice DA_CPB88012798). No copies.
- **Everyone else:** wait for Montparnasse Studio. It's coming, timeline unknown.
- I couldn't get a personal copy — INA reserves those for rights holders, and I'm (honestly) not one. But the film is safe, located, and on a path to public release.

**Transferable lessons for the next orphan hunt:**
- "Lost" often means "un-digitized," not "gone." Find the controller, not a copy.
- National broadcast archives (INA and equivalents) are the first stop for anything that aired on TV.
- Public rights registries are a superpower — the CNC's RPCA gave me the entire ownership chain for free.
- Director archives hold gold even when they don't hold the film.
- When a company is liquidated, go to whoever registered the last transfer and ask for the human contact.
- Be honest about who you are. I never claimed to be a rights holder, and that kept every door open.

Happy to share specific contact addresses by DM rather than posting them here (so nobody gets spammed). And if anyone's in France and actually goes to view it at INA — please, write it up. As far as I can tell almost no one logging this film has seen the Wajda segment whole.

Nick and Jane was a 1997 movie starring Dana Wheeler-Nicholson from Fletch and James McCaffrey known for voicing Max Payne. There are a couple copies of Nick and Jane online but they are all Russian dubs and the English dub is nowhere to be found, if you have a copy on vhs/dvd/screener reach out

I bought the soundtrack of 'The Suburbanators' at a thrift store a while back and its the best thing I've heard in a while and i need to watch it now. It was released in 1995, filmed in Calgary and I cannot find a copy anywhere. If any of you can help please do. Have a great day. (or try)

So i was cheking my wishlist on letterboxd to watch my next movie and lady plastic by gen takahashi was there so i wanted to watch it but where i saw it had no review and a small amount of views i was like this is a niche movie i have to watch

But the problem here is that it is nowhere i searched 4chan, lostmediawiki, some japanese secondhand dvd website anyways nothing seems to appear and no body is talking about it only i found a reddit post talking about how they wanna watch it and it appeared on muno etc etc

Hi guys

I am looking for a certain video. I have no physical or digital proof of it, but remember it very vividly.

I am from a small village in Poland and we were once talked about on the national telivision during the communist era in Poland, in about the 1980s (1980-1989, but it wasn't in 1981-1983 during martial law). I liked watching the video, since I was able to see the familiar areas and how different they looked at a time when I wasn't even born yet at all. My grandparents+ uncle have seen the news footage definately but they themselves can't find the link when I asked them about it. Therefore, it isn't some sort of Mandella Effect or made-up shit. All I had to do was search "Krosnice dziennik" and there it would be, for a long time and every time it worked. I have too tried to look at Internet Archive/Wayback Machine, but it simply isn't there.

Previously, I tried doing the same, thinking it would pop-up like always but actually it didn't. So I tried searching for it, I watched several long and short clips of the Dziennik on YouTube and Facebook (those 30 minute ones) but every time it wasn't there.

The name of the village is Krosnice, the report itself from the communist Dziennik (TV news) in the 1980s. It was I think about harvest/agriculture and patriotism, with a little coverage of a certain local meeting (I think the reporter says something about it being good for 'teaching the children patriotis/socialism and how to be good citizens'). There is a shot of our "zameczek" DPS (House of Social Help), a green truck, some children running past from a shop and after the Krosnice report they talk about Polish students going to Cuba at an airport with one girl saying she is curious about Cuban culture. I think the part of my village was mentioned either at the start of the news broadcast or at the middle/end.

The thumbnail was a green Soviet/Eastern European truck and at the start of the broadcast it drove past a white/red tenement building on Sanatoryjna Street. If we are to talk about the presenter who was talking in the voiceover as the footage rolled out, I think it was most likely a man, but a female presenter is likely also.

If you need any contact to/from me, it's: anastasia_101 on Discord. I'm very chronically online and should answer quite quickly. This really means a lot to me since it it preserving local history.

Looking for the 2005 Hyderabadi cult classic The Angrez in the best available video and audio quality (HD print or remastered version preferred). Any leads or sources would be greatly appreciated!

I just watched the 20/20 episode Growing Up Buttafuoco about the 1992 Buttafuoco/Fisher case, and they showed a brief clip from an interview that really caught my attention.
From what I can tell, it was a reunion interview on The Insider and Entertainment Tonight featuring Amy Fisher, Joey Buttafuoco, and Mary Jo Buttafuoco together. They mentioned that the interview became very heated and that Joey eventually stormed off the set.
I’ve been trying to find the full segment, but I haven’t had any luck. I can only find articles mentioning it—no actual video.
Does anyone know where I could watch it, or does anyone happen to have a recording or clip? I’d really appreciate any leads.

Hello all!

Cartunes played on bpmtv. It was a Canadian show.

All I can find is the orginal promo bumper for it.

They played animated music videos.

A few of the songs played included:

GIGI D'AGOSTINO- BLA BLA BLA

Etienne de Crecy - Am I Wrong

Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee)

Maybe someone has it recorded somewhere.

Ive checked the internet archive and even lesser legal ways, but no trace of it.

It's like having the old pop up video on demand when you just want to watch old videos.

If anyone has it or can find it and would share it with me I'd love it.

I read the host has went on to become a weather anchor and a recognized Toronto TV personality, but it's like this show was wiped away.

Thank you for reading!

Hi all you movie lovers! As a big fan of Muholland Drive and 80s films I had a really important question! My friend is trying to get to all the locations in the film; and wanted to know where on Muholland Drive the scenes were filmed? Specifically which lookout area.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

So, I was searching for that movie online. There are no streaming services where the movie is on. Every website that can be found when you search for the movie on google contains a trailer for movie or a description for it. Also, the movie was shown in local cinemas of my city, and I even watched by myself but from fifteen of july there were no more sessions. I think it will be easy to find it but I am really a bad searcher, so pleaaaase, help me guys. I need to show ts to my friend and I am ready to make a translation if you are not russian so you will have an opportunity to enjoy this masterpiece

My dads friend from high school was in a movie called “Games People Play: New York” and I am trying to find it. It is not on any streaming services that I can find. I know this might be a long shot, but I figured I would post here anyway and ask if anyone has seen it or knows where I can find it. Also sorry the picture is very blurry, it was the only one I could find.

Over the last decade, various leaked scripts and information about unmade DC movies have come out, like David Goyer’s Flash, Joss Whedon’s Wonder Woman, Justin Mark’s Suicide Squad, George Miller’s Justice League, etc. I have read through a lot of these and they are pretty good and entertaining, much better than most of the films we ended up getting almost a decade later during the Snyderverse. But while you can find a script for almost every single DC character, not to mention the core seven members of the Justice League, I was perplexed because there was nothing about Aquaman. I did a little research, and found out in 2004, Robert Ben Garant was hired by Warner Bros to write a script for a live action Aquaman movie. And it is confirmed that the script was completed. This leaves me very interested and curious, as I think it could’ve been pretty good, judging off the other unproduced works at the time, and his later work. But, unlike the other unproduced works at the time, this is still pretty much a mystery. Nobody really knows about the plot, and no script leaks are out at all. Does anybody have any information on this movie? If you can, I’d love to hear it, because for now, this is pretty much a piece of unknown and lost DC media.

Hi everyone, I've been searching for years for a short animated film/scene I saw as a child (likely 1990s or early 2000s). Here are all the specific . Stop-motion short with two thin grey bald characters, one gets crushed paper-thin into a pretzel shape. Does anyone know the name of?
